<p>[QUOTE=&quot;randygeki, post: 1788780, member: 13719&quot;]Heres a couple recent budget ancients I got the other day. As usual I picked coins that don&#039;t like having their pictures taken <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Since I collect Fel temps, I thought I should at least have one of each type and finally got the phoenix type. I got it because it was there <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> . The Greek proved the hardest to photograph, having a very glossy patina. The rev. shows a lot of detail and really pops up when you rub your thumb across it. I really like that in some coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]288147[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font size="2"><font face="Verdana"><span style="color: #000000">Constans AE3. 348-350 AD.
